Abstract
The model training apparatus trains an image conversion model to generate, from an input image representing a scene in a first environment, an output image representing the scene in a second environment. The model training apparatus inputs a training image to the image conversion model to obtain a first feature map and an output image, input the output image to the image conversion model to obtain a second feature map, computes a patch-wise loss using the features corresponding to a positive example patch and a negative example patch extracted from the training image and a positive example patch extracted from the output image, and trains the image conversion model based on the patch-wise loss, which is extracted intensively from the region representing an object of a specific type.
